A ranger rescue recently in the Town of North Elba. They received a call about a hiker with an unstable ankle injury on the Van Hovenberg trail just below the junction with Phelps Mountain. Rangers reached the 60-year-old from Auburn, stabilized her ankle, and packaged her into a backpack carrier. Rangers carried the subject approximately one mile to Marcy Dam and then drove a UTV three miles to the intersection of South Meadows and Adirondack Loj roads where she was met by her husband, who drove her to the hospital.
